The TI Professional Computer has a reasonably good graphics screen
(700 x 300 x 3planes), however, it is incompatible with the "standard"
graphics cards (IBM-EGA,-CGA,-VGA, Hercules etc.). As I understand it,
programs that use graphics should communicate with the hardware through
BIOS, via interrupts. This being the case, would it be possible to
write an interrupt handler that would intercept commands to the
"standard" cards and send the information (suitably modified) to the
TI graphics adapter. Is anyone aware of the existence of such an
"emulate" utility.
